Sony executives say their decision to release VenomLetThereBeCarnage and other films in 2021 had a hand in TopGunMaverick's monumental success: 'Venom is the start of that story that allows Top Gun to do the kind of business it did.'
Sony executives think Venom: Let There Be Carnage and other films released by the studio deserve some credit for Top Gun: Maverick's box office success. Originally slated for release in May 2020, Top Gun: Maverick was delayed multiple times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It finally opened in theaters on May 27 and has been a runaway hit ever since.
Josh Greenstein: When we first started releasing movies last October, there were really no other big movies. Everyone had pushed their big movies to this year, to this summer. We took a big gamble putting Venom in theaters. Then we doubled down with Ghostbusters. Then our biggest bet was when every other tentpole had fled, we tripled down with Spider-Man — our biggest, most important piece of IP.
